SEM/EDS
Hitachi 3600 N Scanning electron microscope with a 5 axis motorized stage coupled with ultra dry Compact EDS Detector (Thermo Scientific™) is used for high resolution imaging and elemental analysis. The set-up is used for cutting-edge Materials Science research and also provides help in analyzing non-engineering materials.
